431 Refining A Heaven Demon's Obsession for the First Time

Hu!

Gu Shan and Xu Jingming appeared in midair. Not far away was the inn where Xu Jingming lived.

"The Heaven Demon this time has the strength of an eighth-realm Demon Vanquisher," Gu Shan said. "Junior Brother, it's your first time refining a Heaven Demon obsession, and it's a Heaven Demon with such strength. I'm not sure if it's a blessing or curse."

Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I've read a lot of information and know the danger of refining a Heaven Demon's obsession."

"Remember, guard your heart," Gu Shan reminded again. "I'll head back first."

The senior brother and junior brother parted.

Gu Shan floated away, and Xu Jingming turned into a stream of starlight and landed in the single courtyard of the inn.

Uncle Qi isn't back yet? Xu Jingming looked at Uncle Qi's residence. Both of them had gone out early in the morning to tour the state capital and gather information about demons.

Xu Jingming entered his residence, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate his visualization.

Primordial Star visualization!

After years of studying Light Rays and accumulating a large amount of scientific knowledge, the Primordial Star Xu Jingming had visualized became even vaster and more terrifying, and his mental strength became stronger.

Six hours later, it was already late at night. Uncle Qi had long returned to rest.

Xu Jingming opened his eyes and stopped his visualization cultivation.

I'm in tip-top condition mentally. Xu Jingming eagerly took out a black jade bottle. This is the first time I'm refining a Heaven Demon obsession after being in the Demon Vanquishing World for so many years.

Let's do this. Even those at the limit of Lv. 8 are crazy about it—I want to see what's so special about a Heaven Demon's obsession.

Xu Jingming removed the stopper, and Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers immediately wrapped around the wisp of intrinsic demonic aura in the bottle and flew into his mouth.

Boom!

His brain roared.

Powerful memories attacked his consciousness.

I'm Yu Xin. No… I'm Xu Jingming! Xu Jingming was struck by the memory, and he instantly became confused about his identity. However, he quickly came to his senses and received a burning memory filled with a belief.

Everything was as if he had personally experienced Yu Xin's life.

Yu Xin came from a family with low socioeconomic status in the state capital. After his father died from an illness, he started working at the age of 12. He needed to help with the family's expenses to support his younger siblings.

Without his father to shelter him from the wind and rain, the 12-year-old boy suffered terribly when he came out to work.

He loved martial arts, but he didn't have the money to attend a martial arts center. He could only scrimp and save through gritted teeth before buying a saber manual with half a tael of silver. Only after a day of hard work could he squeeze out some time in the middle of the night to practice his saber techniques. Practicing his saber were the happiest moments of his life.

Finally, his sister got married, and his brother got a wife.

As the eldest brother, he felt the burden ease. He was already 25 this year, but he was already dispirited and old. He looked like he was in his thirties.

Later on, he caught Chief Li's eye, and thanks to his decent saber techniques, he was allowed to enter the yamen and become an ordinary bailiff. It was also in the yamen that he truly came into contact with systematic martial arts cultivation.

This was the first time in his life that he had such an opportunity. He practiced seriously, hungry for more.

At the age of 26, Yu Xin achieved basic mastery of martial arts and officially became a constable! His hair turned black, and he appeared much younger. He finally won the respect of his younger siblings.

Yu Xin was cautious because he had killed a gang member under his extortions in his youth. Although the matter didn't leak, he knew the danger of a life-and-death battle.

After becoming a constable, he was also very careful. He cherished his life as a constable—he ate, drank, and lived an easy life. He was much happier than his previous days.

Chief Li thought highly of him and had the intention of marrying his daughter to Yu Xin.

Chief Li's daughter had also practiced martial arts since she was a child. Although she wasn't considered a stunning beauty, she was considered good-looking.

After spending some time together, the young adults began to have feelings for each other.

Yu Xin felt that his days were getting better and better, and he cherished those days. Chief Li also taught him all the martial arts he knew.

Finally, Yu Xin got married!

Due to his improved strength and Chief Li's connections, Yu Xin finally became a constable chief.

He led a simple life and treated his wife very well. Having been at the bottom of society for years, Yu Xin knew the rules of survival for those at the bottom of society very well. He also knew very well that in a place like the state capital, a constable chief like him was only a small fry.

He led the constables around him to avoid danger and earn benefits, gaining the trust of the constables.

One day, he returned home after a busy day and was chatting with his wife about matters in the office when he encountered a battle between a Demon Vanquisher and a demon.

The commotion of the battle spread in all directions and also reached his house. It reduced the surroundings to ruins, and countless people died.

His home was among them.

When he died, he protected his wife and did his best to block the purple beams of light, but it was useless. His strength couldn't withstand the effects of the Demon Vanquisher and demon.

He died with indignation.

"I have suffered since I was a child." The black-robed youth said calmly in Xu Jingming's consciousness, "When I went out to work in my youth, as a fatherless child, I was bullied by my boss, bullied by adults, and bullied by gangs. Only my mother felt sorry for me; she knew my hardships."

"I endured it—I had to endure everything. Later on, my mother fell ill and died. I wasn't even a man, just a grown-up boy, but I had to take care of my younger siblings. How many times did I find those days meaningless? I was born into this world to suffer."

"Once, I picked up a brocade pouch. There was actually a stack worth ten taels of silver and some silver pieces inside. At home, I held those ten taels of silver and didn't sleep the entire night. That was the most exciting and happiest night for me," the black-robed youth said. "You've also experienced the feeling of holding ten taels of silver from my memory. Wasn't it wonderful?"

Xu Jingming listened.

The youth in the memory held the ten taels of silver and went crazy with excitement the entire night.

"After working hard for more than ten years, my siblings established their own families. I didn't let my parents down. It was only when Master invited me into the yamen that my days truly improved.

"Master had done me a huge favor, and he even married his daughter to me. I promised Master that I would protect her with my life." The black-robed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "She's the person who treats me the best in this world, better than my younger siblings, but what happened in the end?"

The black-robed youth's eyes were filled with tears as he said softly, "Did you think it was just an accident that the aftershocks from the battle between the Demon Vanquisher and demon hit the surroundings?

"When a demon's obsession is first born, it is protected by the world before it condenses a demon body. Demon Vanquishers can't sense my existence," the black-robed youth said. "Therefore, my obsession also discovered the truth. That Demon Vanquisher named Fan Mou did it on purpose. He deliberately sent aftershocks into the surroundings and slaughtered more than a thousand people."

Xu Jingming was stunned.

"He deliberately implicated ordinary people to produce more demons." The black-robed youth's eyes seemed to be burning with flames. "When I learned this secret, I went crazy! My family was actually destroyed for this reason.

"I only had one thought back then!" The black-robed youth stared at Xu Jingming. "Demon Vanquishers deserve death!!!"

Xu Jingming listened silently and didn't retort.

"I went mad, but my obsession became stronger. The first time I condensed a demon body, I reached the limit of an Earth Demon." The black-robed youth gritted his teeth and said, "I couldn't suppress my anger. After condensing a demon body, I searched for half a month without resting! I finally found Demon Vanquisher Fan Mou.

"I captured him alive and crippled him, preventing him from committing suicide," the black-robed youth continued in a low voice. "I tortured him for three days.

"He told me that the only value these countless ordinary people have is to produce demons." The black-robed youth sneered. "He didn't believe that he was wrong at all. He also said… that there were many more Demon Vanquishers who did this. He gave me 73 names."

Xu Jingming fell silent.

There were such Demon Vanquishers.

He had once fallen out with Zhang Ke because he discovered that Zhang Ke had disguised himself as a Heaven Demon and deliberately slaughtered ordinary people.

When Xu Jingming discovered this, he was naturally furious and found Zhang Ke crazy.

However, Zhang Ke felt that… This was the virtual world, and demons were resources for his evolutionary path. He even said that Xu Jingming couldn't tell the difference between reality and virtual.

Xu Jingming also refuted him.

In the battle, Zhang Ke was no match for him and fled in a sorry state.

"It puzzles me." The black-robed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "Why do you Demon Vanquishers want the obsession of a demon so much? You actually slaughter the living repeatedly just for the obsession of a demon? By creating demons, you are even more terrifying than demons!"

"There are such Demon Vanquishers, but they are the minority," Xu Jingming said. "It's just like how you can't sentence everyone to death because of one murderer."

"Minority?" The black-robed youth sneered. "Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming. I know your reputation and have heard of you helping many ordinary people, but… you also deserve death."

"Why?" Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Because there are members of the Holy Light Sect among the Demon Vanquishers who slaughter the living. Mijia has protected them. As for you, you saved Mijia. In the end, that elder came to help you and killed me. He gave my obsession to you!" The black-robed youth stared at Xu Jingming. "Demon Vanquishers like you help one another! You are one, a group that protects each other!

"You guys act high and mighty. You are free to save people or slaughter them according to your whims." The black-robed youth gazed at him. "But countless ordinary people like us have feelings—we can get angry too! I know that in the face of countless Demon Vanquishers, we Heaven Demons are only jokes. However, we Heaven Demons will risk our lives and everything to let you Demon Vanquishers know this: Those who kill the living will also be killed."

The black-robed youth's eyes turned red. "Only by intimidating them through these murders can those Demon Vanquishers learn that slaughtering ordinary people is a sin! Every word and action has karma.

"Since the Demon Vanquisher were the ones causing the trouble, us Heaven Demons are the effect!" The black-robed youth became even crazier.

Xu Jingming could sense his powerful beliefs. He could refute some of Yu Xin's ideas, but deep down, he felt that… Yu Xin wasn't wrong! It was time to let some Demon Vanquishers know that the virtual world would also fight back!

Countless planetary lifeforms had lived in this virtual world for decades. This was a part of their lives that couldn't be trampled on!

How should I refine Yu Xin's Heaven Demon obsession and dissipate it? Xu Jingming looked at Yu Xin in front of him. Yu Xin's obsession was as firm as a rock; it was too difficult to dissipate him.
